National Trust gardens are visited by millions of people every year. Their flowerbeds and borders are legendary for their colour and beauty in every season. In this illustrated talk, National Trust senior gardener Robyn Booth reveals the secrets of how to choose plants that grow together beautifully in your garden, helping you Create Beautiful Flowerbeds and Borders no matter their size or shape, or whether they are sunny or shady.
There are tips on garden planning, advice on using colour and texture, as well as guidance on choosing plants whose beauty will transform through the year. There will be suggestions for plants that can cope with a range of growing conditions, attract pollinators and offer shelter and nesting opportunities for wildlife.
Whether you’re aiming for a charming cottage garden or something more striking and modern, or you need borders that are drought-tolerant or child-friendly, Robyn will provide inspiration and guidance to create a space you can enjoy all year round.
Robyn Booth began her career as a primary school teacher before discovering a passion for gardening. She is now a full-time gardener at the National Trust’s Packwood House, renowned for its beautiful gardens.
